I'm not sure how they would deal with the top part of the reinforcement since I already injected the area with the structural foam. Thank you for the heads up. I know a guy that works there so perhaps he can help lower the labor costs a bit.

Looks great. Love the stance in the corner.

Can you say "staunch"?

How about "squashed"?

Pics of lug nuts?

It is on my list to swap to studs from bolts and having a hard time deciding on lug nuts.

Sorry I didnt take any final pics cause I put the ZHP wheels back on for commuting.

But these are it. Muteki SR48 (I wrote SR40 by mistake). Nothing fancy just extended lugnuts.

If I had those wheel studs or those extended lug nuts, I wouldn't have any trouble bolting up my D-force wheels with the 5mm spacer. It turns out the design of the D-force LTW5 makes it slightly awkward to start the lugnuts by hand with the spacer and using 75mm studs. it doesn't happen with the stock style-135 wheels.

I use a 12.5mm spacer which is why I opt for the 82mm Wheel studs. Time to invest in a new setup? :]

Yeah...I'm going to. I have 10mm spacers (square), so I've been thinking about the different sized (length) studs.

Funny to say this but those are good looking lug nuts.

With 10mm you don't need any longer than 75mm. I have 12.5mm and it is the maximum 75mm studs will take. I saw the 82mm bimmerworld ones and thought sweet that's what I need!

I can't see using more than a 12mm spacer up front (famous last words) so my current studs should be good. It would just be a big hassle to start the lug nuts by hand. I would need to start them using the deep socket, or get extended lug nutz like yours.

But I have time... time to wear out current (245mm) tires. Time to kick myself for not joining the APEX Arc-8 group buy with 17x9 wheels (because I already have 2 sets of wheels). Time to wait for BimmerWorld's 12-days of Christmas 2013 sale to return.

no charlie no!!!! The only real concern is that the exhaust is decently loud. I wonder if it can pass 92dB sound limit at Laguna Seca. I would hate to not be able to run that track because of an sound violation...

I pass Lime Rock's 89 or 90dB limit just fine with my TSE3.

How far away is the sound booth at lime rock? The sound booth at Laguna makes stock s2000 with intakes fail....

I don't know how far away it is, but I once took measurements with a sound meter. At 50 feet it was high 80's for decibel levels at redline. We also did passes and it never exceeded 90dB.

Our sound limit at my local autox is also 90 or 91dB (can't remember) and I've never got called out on it. That is the same meter we used to record my sound measurements.

I may be wrong on this, but I *think* Lime Rock's sound measurements happen at the start/finish line, which would be right next to the main straight.

Wow I was way behind in reading and had to catch up. Derb, if you're still interested in bushing opinions I would go with the poly over OEM and would stay well away from solid aluminium if you DD if at all. Congrats on the new rear end as well. Gonna be awesome.

Im surprised you read it all!

Thanks man. I think I will most likely stick to OEM. The car itself doesn't have much poly anywhere..I have E92 M3 mounts but RE tranny mounts which are all rubber. I think since I daily drive the car, its best to just keep it at OEM bushing or a stiffer rubber at most.

The rear end is arriving Feb 4th. Then its time to assess the the damages and what I need to buy that's missing (almost guaranteed from a salvage yard)

Kalim was talking to me and suggested M3 ZCP front brakes to replace the 135i brakes.

I looked at him and thought :facepalm I just must do it too... for the 345mm rotors..

So..

Sell me the 135i bbk.

Buy some porsche calipers, get some rallyroad.net adaptors, and rock the M3 CSL rotors. Win, win for both of us!
